About this listen

Once Upon A Time,

there was a wicked girl.

She lost everything that mattered,

causing darkness to unfurl.

Impulsive and intelligent,

she helped her family name grow strong.

But then one day a man without a heart came along.

An undercover agent, meant to spy and bring back tips.

Following down her hidden path of faded yellow bricks.

She hated him, he wanted her;

she was too good to be true.

But a woman can be great …

and terrible too.

Wretched is a dark, contemporary romance (not fantasy or a retelling) and the third complete standalone in The Never After Series: a collection of fractured fairy tales inspired by our favorite villains. It features mature themes and content that may not be suitable for all listeners. Listener discretion is advised.

Both characters voiced it perfectly, sounded exactly right for the parts. Really enjoyed it, so good! So much better than hooked!

Perfect Voices!

Wretched is a dark and spicy Wizard of Oz retelling 🌪️ with major morally grey energy 😈 — and it absolutely surprised me in the best way!

Evelina is bold, dangerous, and emotionally guarded 💚💔, and Nicholas’s undercover angle gave it such a tense, slow-burn vibe 🔥🫣 Their dynamic? Obsession-worthy.

The audiobook was fantastic 🎧 —
Vivian Bradford and Robert Hatchet nailed the emotion and grit, and I was so locked in the whole time 🎙️🖤

It’s not a full 5 ⭐️ for me —
I wanted a bit more depth in some places — but I still loved the ride.

If you’re into dark romance + fairytale retellings with bite, this one’s worth the listen 🖤📚

Dark, Twisted, and Surprisingly Engaging! 🌪️🖤🔥

Loved Evelina ! Despite how dark this tale is, I didn't like Dorothy from the get go (meaning the film) so to see this.story the way it did..it was beautiful

Nick and Eve's love story was hot from beginning to end and it was written perfectly.
